**Shared context** Oonchiumpa is on Eastern Arrernte Country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), led by Traditional Owners Kristy Bloomfield and Tanya Turner. The work is grounded at Atnarpa Homestead (Loves Creek Station), held by the Bloomfield family since 1896 and returned through Native Title in 2012. Aunties and Uncles, Patricia Ann Miller, Henry Bloomfield, Aunty Barb and Uncle Tony, hold the cultural authority that the programs run on. Four programs sit underneath the practice: - Atnarpa Homestead On-Country Experiences (200 participants, 88% success). Cultural tourism, healing, bush medicine, school groups, ANU Law residencies. - Cultural Brokerage and Service Navigation (71 participants, 82% success). Trusted bridge to 32+ services including Congress, Headspace, housing, and legal pathways. - Alternative Service Response, Operation Luna (19 active mentorships, 77% success). Multi-agency NT taskforce referrals, ages 11 to 17. - True Justice: Deep Listening on Country (60 law students, 85% success). ANU Law School partnership running since 2022, week-long immersive on-country program from Mparntwe to Uluru. Service reach: 150km radius from Mparntwe. Seven Central Australian language groups served. **The proof point** Of 21 young people referred by Operation Luna, only 1 remained on the case management list by December 2024. That is a 95% diversion outcome on the highest-need cohort the NT government can refer. Seventy-two per cent of participants returned to school or alternative education despite 95% being disengaged at intake. School re-engagement: 95%. Mentorship retention: 90%. **Funding currently visible** NIAA Central Australia Youth Safety: $1.4M (Dec 2023 to mid 2025, part of the $9.2M youth safety allocation inside the $250M Central Australia plan). NIAA Alternative Service Response: $117K (2021 to 2025). Snow Foundation: $100K (2026). Federal Court of Australia: ~$105K across three engagements (2023). Total visible flow: ~$1.72M. **Support framing** Lead with cultural authority. Kristy and Tanya are not consultants; they are the leadership. Anchor the case in lived-experience leadership by Eastern Arrernte women on Eastern Arrernte Country. Use existing community trust, the Snow Foundation relationship, and the ANU partnership as visible support-letter and partnership advantages. **Priority support needs** 1. Bridge funding for the post-NIAA window (mid 2025 onward). The NIAA tranche is finite. Need a multi-year philanthropic anchor that does not require Operation Luna referrals as the only legitimacy lens. 2. Capital for Atnarpa accommodation and infrastructure so the on-country residency model can scale beyond current 200-participant capacity. 3. Tourism enterprise pathway for the young people now developing their own cultural tourism ventures (case study: MS, transitioned from disconnected youth with offending history to building his own enterprise). 4. Cross-anchor exchange budget for the June 2026 trip east to the Harvest at Witta, sitting with Quandamooka Elders from MMEIC and exchanging practice with PICC and BG Fit. **Partner asks** - Snow Foundation: scale the existing relationship into a multi-year commitment; lead with the diversion evidence and the ANU True Justice partnership. - Minderoo (in conversation): four-anchor partnership with Oonchiumpa as one of the four communities. STAY pitch lodged April 2026. - Paul Ramsay Foundation: explore co-anchor possibility from Year 2 of the Minderoo partnership. - Just Reinvest NSW: collaboration on the policy-to-practice translation work; JRI as the Canberra-facing partner. - Federal Court of Australia: continue the True Justice pipeline; consider expansion of the law student residency to other faculties. **Operational blockers** - Outcome measurement is rich at the program level (95% diversion, 88% Atnarpa success) but not yet committed as funder-ready outcome commitments. Convert at least three program metrics into measurable time-bound commitments before the next major submission. - Compliance readiness scoring at 78. Lift to 85+ before the next governmental submission window. - Atnarpa accommodation capacity is the throughput constraint. Capital ask needs costing before philanthropic conversations. **Voice note for any external draft** Always write Mparntwe before Alice Springs. Eastern Arrernte Country named explicitly. Atnarpa is the place name; Loves Creek Station is the colonial name. Native Title 2012 is the load-bearing fact. No em-dashes. No "delve" or "crucial". Names over abstractions: Kristy, Tanya, the Bloomfield family, the Aunties.
